No, if it is serial modem. Go to kppp and setup - put your user name, password, tel.number of your provider, IP dynamic, modem will be dev/ttyS0 or ttyS1. Lower your conection speed wich by default is very high (460000) to, say, 56000 or 115000.

Well I did all those settings and set my connection speed to a lower one as u said, but when i connect thru kppp it tells -modem status ok- initializing modem -after that nothing happens-
What could be the pblm??

Which dev did you setup ttyS0, ttyS1, this must be exact match. Do not connect first but use Query - it will find (or not!) modem. If not, change ttySx and try again.

I did query and it produced a window with ATI query listed and a lot of blank boxes.

I connected it to COM1 in Windows Is its equivalent in linux is ttyS0??

If it's on Com 1 yes its ttySO

The rest of tdjokic's directions are spot on

What BRAND of modem is it?

**ku637** · 12-09-2005, 02:58 AM

OH
Its nt an ordinary External Modem, Its a phone Kyocera-2235 thats its brand.it is nt a mobile phone but functions as Wireless Phone connection instead of ordinary cable based telephones.It canbe used as a std 33600bps modem as they people say in windows (its true as i found) but when i asked the local service provider, he dosent knew whether it will work in Linux,the phone manual is quiet abt this and Im left out with almost no hope.Can anyone find a way out?
